Peace

when children are too scared to go to bed and sleep


you know the world has fallen too deep


bombs going off as warning threats


soldiers laughing and making bets


killing each other has become a game


yet they live on – without any shame


boys playing cops and robbers with plastic


is where they learn and plan their best tactic


boys so young, being dragged to war – for who?


fighting for reasons that they don’t want to


see where mans’ greed has lead


parents weeping when they learn their boys are dead


the whole world is participating in a pointless fight


day time is over, the world is dark as night


innocent people are being destroyed inside


when they said we would be in peace – they lied


babies raped and many left to die


mothers not having a chance to say goodbye


the end is upon our nation


do you think God planned this in His creating?


being sick of all the pain caused by others


we should love each other – be brothers


drugs and prostitution are making our world decay


a part of everything dies each day


we have created a ticking bomb with each crime


except now we watch and laugh by paying a dime


how many times must we hear the children’s’ screams?


there are no such things as ambitions or dreams


when will we all wake up and see?


what the world will turn out to be


when will we realize we need more love?


maybe only when everyone is floating above.
